WHY:
To officially open up the parking structure which was funded by Proposition 2 (1989) at a cost of 4.3 million dollars. The Van Nuys Area parking facility will add over 500 parking spaces to relieve the overcrowded conditions. The Valley Headquarters Building opened in 1964 and originally had a uniformed personnel strength of 155. Today, there are over 800 Los Angeles Police Department personnel assigned at the Valley Headquarters Building. Present at the ceremony will be Councilmember Cindi Miscikowski and Chief Bernard Parks.
